I suppose that it is not all that important, but the ladies in ethiopia tend to be tall, thin, intelligent, fluent in several languages, and to my eyes, strikingly beautiful. The only nation that can compare is just down the street, in Eritrea.

Ethiopia mostly practices a brand of Christianity called Coptic. It is my belief that once they were a major christian center, but accepted some writings not believed canonical, for example, the gospel of Peter. Coptic Christianity was rigidly supressed by the Orthodox under the Eastern (Byzantine) Roman Empire, to the extent that many Coptic Christians looked at the relative freedom granted by the early Muslim Caliphs as liberating.

Ethiopia is also (by several accounts) where the Arc of the Covanent rests. Many Ethiopian women have names that echo Jewish place names. Ierusalem, Betelhem ectera.

If I was going to begin a eugenics program, I would not try to limit growth of a population of tall beautiful women, unless I was trying to breed dog ugly people.
